I recently did a retrofit on my 01 civic ex. with much help from gearbox and jay78, i got it done (aiming was very tedious). my setup is TYC projectors, 4300k kit, valeo DOT projectors. these pics are before i got them aimed.







this one didnt come out very good..

ah okay. hey jay do you think im getting not so good light output cause the projector is so far into the housing? and what about the protective film on headlight cover...its perfectly clear but who knows...

to answer your question even tho im not jay, yes it can cause loss in output if the projectors is too far into the housing and not some wat close to the headlight cover. i think that was half of my problem with my old retrofit.

STEVE
he answerd it........so yes u will get better out by putting projector closer to cover i had same prob with my ls430 thats why i am redoing them...

if u want to push your valeo closer to the cover then u have to cut the ring so your projector can come out more and prob u gone need shroud to, to make it look better... i might do this cuz i have one sonar housing setting around and valeo H7 clear lens projectors...... then sale it...

sounds like too much work, but post up how you do it cause eventually i need to open them again and glue that projector in good.

use TAP black selicon thats what i use they are very strong....but its hard when u have to open your headlights again.....

i dont care about sealing that well. i was talking about something to hold the projector in the housing so it doesnt shake over bumps. silicone not hard enough.

jay78

iTrader: (7)

well i used silicon
first i tied with zip tie one i aimed perfectly then i put the silicon around and it works like champ...

okay cool will keep in mind. i gues you gotta pour it on. i had put some epoxy but i think it broke off already. its gonna be a small mess in there when i open. also should i do color mods?

jay78

iTrader: (7)

well with your lens i wont cuz u gone loss lots of lights and color dont come as much as u can get with clear lens......i would do lens swap this way u will have more lights, sharper cutoff and more colors then what u hve now..

but its up to u u can buy some H7 clear lens projectors and swap them...... hardast part is to take the lens out without cracking it...
